   I get a message staying I need to move the htaccess.txt file. I moved the file but still get the message to move the file. What's going on?

   Make sure its not hidden. Via whatever FTP program you are using, enable the ability to view hidden files.

   Oh I have the FTP set to read hidden files. I have followed the DBManager instructions, but the error message has not gone away.

   You have to move the file and then rename it to .htaccess from htaccess.txt .

   Thanks for the info. I didn't see the renaming of the file.

   I already have an .htaccess file in db backups so I can't rename the folder to .htaccess. Now what?

   <Files ~ ".*\..*">
   order allow,deny
   deny from all
   </Files>
   I got this file from an older version, It should work, PS I am using Ver WPMU 2.9.1.1

    Create an htaccess file with this in it:

    <Files ~ ".*\..*">
    order allow,deny
    deny from all
    </Files>

    Place the htacess file in a folder wp-content/backup-db

    This should stop the error message.
    But didn't stop the error message for me, though since everything is in the right place, presumably it is safe.
